    What Will You Do If You Get Sick On The Road?

    Only thing I can think of off hand is, go out of service, find a walk-in clinic and get a room and lay-up for a few days till feeling better. This is where that reserve fund that people should have comes into play.

    We need more gun control

    greg... I guess I live on the other side of the moon. I see no handguns for anyone (private citizens). Rifles are a different story when used responsibly. Handguns are for killing period theres no room in my world for them. Why can't a rifle satisfy our need to protect ourselves?

    Canadian Van owners will not get the per diem/meal allowance anymore..The sentence in bold tells it all. This is one reason why I don't waste my money on lobby groups like the CTA or OOIDA becuase they only cater to the big trucks. OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - March 19, 2007) - Today's...
